The arrest coincided with reports claiming police and prosecutors believe Brazilian Montiel, 35, did not act alone and was aided by an accomplice. “Sex worker” Uriarte, who called herself Ambar online, had claimed before her arrest in an interview with Argentinian TV station Telefe she had last seen her partner two days before the shocking gun attack. Footage showed a man identified as Montiel pointing a gun in Fernandez de Kirchner’s face through the crowd waiting for the vice president outside her home in the upmarket neighbourhood of La Recoleta before he was bundled away by security when the weapon jammed.

Sao Paulo-born Montiel’s Black Sun tattoo is the same symbol 18-year-old gunman Payton Gendron used in a manifesto issued before the Buffalo, New York, shooting. Brenton Tarrant, the Australian who killed 51 people and injured another 40 in a terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in March 2019, also had a Black Sun symbol emblazoned on his rucksack. Uriarte is expected to be questioned over the next couple of days before being hauled to court if prosecutors feel they have enough to pursue a case against her.
